In June 2025, I will be presenting my thesis research on co-creation in the museum setting at the Society for Experiential Graphic Design Academic Summit. My research involved looking at the ways museum exhibition development, interpretation, and creation can be led by community initiatives.

As an after-school care specialist, I organized, lead and promoted interest in digital art activities for middle school students at two Brooklyn public schools. I utilize and adapted the New York State Arts Learning Standards to create engaging and awarding activities that encourages participation in New York Edge programs, and were flexible with the students’ differing needs.

During a short period of time at Rutgers University, I created a prototype for an imagination building exercise that involved gathering a group to play a mini game and generate ideas for better modes of existing in the future.

In 2021, I helped virtually lead a group of 10 high school students through the tools and methods of equity-centered design, maker-skills, and entrepreneurship. Students worked on graphic design projects for four community-based organizations in Baltimore, and gained experience in creating portfolio-ready work for clients. In 2022, I created the curriculum for this course so that students could be led with in-person instruction.
